Valuable shorthorns for Nevada

The APPEAL learns from the
st. Paul Pioneer Press of a recent
date, that at HI. f. Browns
Eighth Annual Sale of Short
horn Cattle, which took place the
previous day, there was large
attendance and heavy bidding,
and the sale was probably the
most successful ever held in that
city or State. Thiry-three
head were sold, averaging $917
per head. The highcst-priced
animals were bought by w. J..
Marsh, of Fort Churchill, Nevada,
as follows: Wild Eyes Duchess
18th, ST, 45O; imported Duke of
Waterloo, ST, 500; Wild Eyes of
Browndale 9th, 81, 800. These
animals will be great acquisi-
tion to the shorthorn interest of
Nevada, and we are glad our
friend Marsh has captured them.

The ChesIey Divorce

The Post of Saturday has the
following:
Eleanor B. Chesley, known on
the stage as Eleanor Barry, began
suit today to compel her divorced
husband, James G. Chesley, to pay
alimony, as ordered by the Court
The complaint sets forth that on
March 10th the lady began suit in
San Mateo for divorce, and that
her husband failing to put IN any
answer the divorce was granted by
default, and she was awarded $50 a
week aiimony and taxed costs. For
some time James G.. Chesley paid
the money. but on and after May
Both he refused to pay her any
money, and she now brings suit.
To Post reporter today Eleanor
Barry said that her husbands as
sault on John Chretein. the lawyer
was made more than six weeks aft
er the divorce was granted. She
said that since the divorce Mr..
Chesley had behaved very badly to
her, and when Mr.. Chretein called,
at her request, to consult about his
testimony in reference to prelimi-
nary steps in the divorce case with
which he was familiar, Mr. Chesley
waylaid and assaulted him. Chre-
TEN had been a mutual friend be-
fore the proceedings, and had
tried to bring them together, but
failed, owing to the interference of
a third party. After the divorce
Chesley said it was illegal. and he
would have it set aside because of
infcrmality, and she had asked
Chretein to give his evidence, if
necessary, about the validity of the
proceedings. Chesley had threat
ened to drive all her friends from
her and stop all her amusements,
SO that, being without means or
friends. she would be glad to return
to him.

AN ANVE-IXsPKREaG SIGHT.
An Immense Wheel of Light
Revolving i'm the skies.

Revolving in the skies
About z o'clock on Saturday
evening those who looked upon the
Eastern sky saw an exhibition
which they will not soon forget.
At first it seemed as if the sun,
which had just gone down behind
the Sierra Range, was suddenly re-
appearing from the Eastern hori
zon. At first there was "a dull cop
per glow, which changed to a fiery
red and yellow, and then dozen
shafts of white light shot upward
almost to the center of the sky's
arch. These broad bands of light
diverged from a common center,
seemingly just In the rear Of Mt.
Davidson, and were accompanied
by tremendous changes Of color
and occasional flashes. Presently
the strange light seemed like the
spokes of gigantic wheel, and the
spokes began slowly to reyolve, as
If the wheel were moving from
South to North One shaft of the
wheel would slowly sink in the
Northern side aud another one
make its appearance from the
South. Mingled with these rays,
which were perfectly well defined,
were yellow, blue and green masses
of clouds, rent and torn by the on
ward sweep of the wheel, assuming
endless shapes and colors.
The background of this sublime
picture was broad curtain Of blue
and black. As the day declined
the dull copper glow turned to gold,
and the greenish tinge was a fam
ing emerald with detached patches
OF bloody red sprInkled over every
thing. These interviewer colors
were driven by whirlwind which
sucked them into eddies, gathered
them from nothing, twisted, mould
ed and dyed them and fusg them
into space again. The great wheel
heightened its spokes to the zenith,
and with its hugh axis on the hori
IONS edge, rolled through a living
path of fire to the Northward, and
with it the whirlwind. As it ad-
vanced the sky above it assumed
an angrier cast until one wondered
why the mass which shed a lustre
like red hot iron did not also send
forth terrible heat.
Presently long cloud flung it
self across the sky in the West,
and driven by the wind passed oyer
to the Eas ST. 1t was a cloud that
resembled ashes in hue but the
instant it came within range of the
big wheel it was transformed into
broad belt of gold. A few mo-
ments later and the wind had torn
it to shreds, cut it into patches
recolored it. thrown it between the
spOkes of the wheel and woven it
into the gorgeous tapestry of light
and shade that hung in the East.
The scene lasted half an hour,
during which time the familiar OBJ
jects of the landscape assumed
rosy hue and the very air seemed
tinted. The question arises: Where
did this strange light come from?

4 RHEENATKC CONGREGA-
TON
Which Gathered to Hear rev.
Van DeVenter Preach

Which Gathered to Hear REV.
Van Deventer Preach.
% Sunday morning the Method
list Church was crowded with peo-
pie, and among the congregation
were noticed many people who are
not known as ha bitual church go
ers.
While there was a marked in
crease in the congregation of Mr..
Van Deyenter there was a cores
ponding falling off in the attend
ance of the other churches.
One thing particularly noticeable
was the number of rheumatic per-
sons in the church. Judge Sabin,
a dyed-in-the-wOol Episcopalian,
was there with a game rheumatic
leg; Postmaster White managed to
hobble in with crutch and was
seated near the door, Gen. Clarke,
who occasionally has twlnge of
rheumatism in his left leg, was on
hand, and so was Kaiser of the
Ormsby House, and John Sweeny,
the borseman, who has rheumatism
bad every now and then.
In addition to these, were about
fifty old chronic rheumatics all
waiting anxiously for the sermon
which had been advertised as fol-
lows in the Tribune:
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
e. w. Van Deventer, pastor.
Preaching in the morning and at
7:30 NJ. Sunday School at II NJ.
Morning theme: Receipt for the
Cure Of rheumatism"
The discourse, however, cotainned
not the faintest allusion to the
question of rheumatism. 1t was a
vigorous and able attack on the
element of the city.
When the plate was passed |
around several OF the old rheuma-
tics refused to give a cent. and
after the service was over they hob
bled home growing audibly.
1t leaked out after the service
hat the announcement of the sub
iect of the discourse was a typo
error The Reverend
gentleman had for his text, Re
ceipt for the Cure of Hoodlumism,"
and the compositor ran In the word
rheumatism instead. When the
were made acquainted
with mistake they all had a good
hearty laugh and shake up, which
all say rather benefited their all
ment. and they now all admit that
the discourse on hoodlumism also
did them much good and gave them
food for serious reflection.

CARSON WINS.
The AImetcnrs scoop the ResO-
IuteS on sunday.

The game of base ball between
the Resolutes of Virginia City anC
the Amateurs Of Carson City foI
800 side drew a Urge crowd tt
the grounds on Sunday last. When
the two clubs reached the field the
difference In the physique of the
two organizations was matter Of
comment, The Carson club was
composed of young men, some
mere boys, while the Virginia club
was made up of men whose ages
clustered about the 30 notch.
When the game was called the
Resolutei took the bat. McNulty
pitching, for Carson, the Virginia
men hammered out three runs.
The Carson boys changed places
and were considerably puzzled by
Kelly's heavy pitching and kenly
got one run.
The next three innings gave the
Reso,utes SIX runs and the ANA
tours two. Both sides now warmed
up to their work and each side gave
the other a white-wash.
The Resolutes then sailed in
with considerable vim and scratch
ed one run from the melee and
Carson got another white-wqsh.
About this time the men who had
put up their ducats on the Carson
side were considerably low in the
mouth and began to scour the
grounds for favorable opportunities
to hedge.
McNulty who puts all hisstrength
into his pitching showed signs of
distress and Cowing was substitute
ed. The change was a good one
for Carson and the Comstockers
were not quick to understand the
difference in the pitching.
The pitching of Kelly of Virginia
who had done such execution early
In the game, was no longer novelty
and the Carson batters having
guaged his range and delivery, be
gau to put In some solid work and
rapidly closed the gap. Youth ana
activity soon began TO tell and as
they hammered out ran after run,
the excitement rose to a fever
pitch and the shouts of the crowd
could be heard all oven the valley,
cheering encouragement.
IC nerYed up the boys and they
played with such good spirit that
W hen the Comstockers closed their
ninth inning the score stood nine
to nine and Carson ready for one
more tussle with the hickory.
When the 18th run was made and
the batter landed on the home plate,
one concentrated yell went up from
the spectators that shook The dust
down from the Capitol cupulo.
Another run was made Just for
a flyer" and the game was closed,

hausted from its efforts 1t is gen
orally conceded that the heavy

An interesting little iliad has run its
course and ended well the week past.
Last fall nephew of the poet Whittier
came 10 Washington to see if he could
get his pension arrears His applica-
ton had bees made for a yeaT or two,
but tie case in some way hung fire.
His coming was the old story so often
repeated. He had little money, no one
to live with, lie was unable to work.
and if he had waited before he now
began TO realize the agony of hope de-
feTred as he never had. Although he
had but one leg he marched on that and
his crutch ut Gen. Logans funeral
From the Capitol. out over the muddy.
slushy roads. he trudged along to the
old Rock Creek burying- ground and
back again. 1t was too much for him
and he fell sick. For weeks he Law abed
nurSod by an old army eomrade. At
length his money was all gone and his
friend had none for him. Besides, he
had already borrowed more than he
feared he could repay. He sought help
from society of women who do all
they can to assist needy soldiers. The
other day his ease was decided, and a
warrant for %l.40O was laid on his
pillow The thought that he could pay
his debts and 90 home if he got well
cured him, and now he is able to be out
doors. The Soldiers Aid Society has
received back what was lent him. and
$40 more for some other unfortunate,
and the happy pensioner viii soon start
for home. - u Washington Letter.

ALake of soda water.

Mono Lake is another sheet of water
that is full of soda, borax. and other
minerals in solution The waters of
both Owens and Mono Lakes are a nat
ural detergent. The dirtiest and greas-
lest Of clothing is made clean in half
minute by simply rinsing the article in
the lakes. 1t fathers naturally when
agitated. When there is Il high wind a
wall of suds three or four feet in hight is
seen along that shore upon which the
waves beat. This quivering wall-in
which are seen all the colors of the rain
bow and as many beauties as are shown
by the kaleidoscope-would grow to a
hight of ten or twelve feet before top
ping over, but when it attains a certain
hight the wind catches it up and watts
great balls of it far inland. Some of
these floating balloons of lather are as
big as flour barrel. As the prevailing
winds are from the west all vegetation
on the eastern shore of the lakes is kill
ed for distance of many rods. When
there are unusually high winds the
balls of suds are blown so far inland as
to reach clumps of willows and other
bushes. the leaves of which are then
seen to be scorched as though by fire.
The water, just as it comes from the
lakes, would make an excellent shampoo
for the use of BARRIERS; and the solid
matter resulting from evaporation would
make fine washing powder for laundry

The Color OF Canaries.

With regard to the yellow
color of the canary bird and
its testimony to Mr.. Darwin
theory it is said that, after domestication
in Belgium, Germany, and England
"a point with which temperature or
climate may havehad something to do,)
the birds threw up on the feathers small
patches of yellow or lighter color, and
by carefully matching those birds that
had the argestnumberso of these patch
es the breeders at length, and after a
considerable period succeeded in OBJ
tanning bright and uniform yellow
color, more closely resembling what
arc called the clear birds of today.
But the application of the phrase, ''ca-
nary COLOR to indicate Especial shade
OF yellow, though general is not jus
titled by the facts. Canaries of pure
breed are to be found of many colors.
Whole breeds are green; and by feeding
on pepper and other seeds, canaries
have been produced of cinnamon and
coffee color and even of red; and in
the Lizard variety, the bird, though yell

Oysters in Europe.

Oyster production, although carried
on to a large extent in France. is not a
profitable investment. The reason is
that the rates for transportation from
the oystcr-beds are too high. In
Auray, for instance. oysters are worth
Of per 1000; in Paris they cost more
than 50f. An attempt is being made
to secure transportation at less cost. A
movement Is on foot in the North Sea
towns of Germany for promoting
oyster culture along the cost, support
ed by Government grants. At present
here are fifty-one banks in the North,
Sea-viz.: twenty-six at Fano. RomO.
and Sylt, and twenty-five at Fohr,
Amrum. and Halligerne. In the Bal
tic, on the other hand, all attempts at
ovstcr-culture have failed. "Holstein'
or "Flensburg'' oysters-considered the
best in Germany-are really English
or Dutch. All the German oyster
banks are the property of the State,
and leased to private individuals.

All Hail the Future.

When Henry Ward Beecher was on
his last lecture tour through the South
he addresseda large audience at Macon,
Ga. He reviewed his career as an Alb
olitionist, explained that his utterances
and acts were based upon a sincere be-
lief in the unrighteousness of slavery,
and then declared that there was no
longer a reason why all sections of the
country should not act as unit. He
closed by abruptly exclaiming: Fare
well the past! All hail the future."
That exclamation is to-day the senti-
ment that actuates the South. While
not forgotten, there is no desire TO have
the past live again. 1t is dead, and it
is to the future that all eyes are hopeful
ly turned. Savannah NeJCs.
